Lord of Mysteries: Sustainer of Salvation

Chapter 4: 428 years later...



Backlund, Loen Republic, Northern Continent. 6:00 A.M of March 25, 428. Cathedral of the Sage of Mysticism, Church of The Endless Glory.

Bells rang, symbolizing the start of a new day.

The Pope of the Church of the Endless Glory called an emergency meeting with the eight angels by The Endless Glory's order.

They were all seated at a circular table, waiting for the Pope.

The eight angels waited impatiently for the Pope for over 8 minutes, which made them even more displeased with the sudden meeting.

The Pope finally entered the room after being over 10 minutes late. He didn't waste any time as he started speaking.

"I'm sorry for being late even after I called all of you. I know how busy you all are, so I thank you for your presence. To not take up more of your time than necessary, please allow me to start our meeting." The Pope said as he took a seat at the table.

"428 years ago, the Fifth Epoch officially ended. The three churches rose from the Calamity of the War in Heaven..."

The Angel of Mysticism interrupted the Pope, annoyed. "We all know what happened at that time, so stop wasting our time and get straight to the point."

"Mr. Sage, I understand your annoyance on the matter, and I apologize for making all of you come here so suddenly. But by the Endless Glory's order, I have to explain it before going to the main topic of the meeting."

The Pope said to the Angel of Mysticism while every other angel stared at him.

"Well, if it's an order from the Endless Glory, then say what you want." The Angel of Mysticism said as he let the Pope continue what he was saying.

The Pope continued, "The War in Heaven ended after the death of the Dominator of the Spirit World. No one but the Gods know what caused His death, but every being who lived during that time heard His last words..." The Pope was interrupted again, this time by the Angel of Death.

"Every intelligent being alive at that time froze in place as that phrase suddenly appeared in everyone's mind. 'I am everyone and everyone is me; I can and I am everywhere at every time. This shell can fail and fall, but no matter what, I can and I will be back. Nothing can change this fact.' After that, more than a quarter of the world's population got corrupted. Even some high-sequence Beyonders couldn't escape the corruption of the Dominator of the Spirit World." The Angel of Death completed what the Pope was saying.

"Since so many anchors got corrupted at the same time, Angels and even True Deities showed signs of corruption." The Angel of Horror said.

"Yes, that's right. After that, the Uniqueness and characteristics of the Dominator of the Spirit World diverged once again. Now, going to the main topic of the meeting..." The Pope said as he got up and looked at the Angels.

"The Eternal Glory gave me a vision..." The Pope said as every Angel in the room focused their attention on him.

"A transmigrator came to Earth."- As those words left the Pope's mouth, every single angel rose in shock...

Barsal, Balam Republic, South Continent. 6:00 A.M of March 25 of 428. Norarta Family's Mansion.

The high ranks of the Norarta family entered the dining room of the mansion.

"By the Guardian's authority, I, Vincent Norarta, declare this emergency reunion officially started."

The patriarch of the Norarta family said as he sat down. The other members followed his movements and also sat down. They all stared at each other in silence, waiting for someone.

A woman dressed in a long black cloak that covered her whole body and a white mask that completely hid her face entered.

"Welcome, Ms. Narrator." They all said as they got up to greet the Narrator.

"Sit." The Narrator said, and everyone in the room immediately complied.

The Narrator sat in the main chair of the table, which usually belonged to the patriarch, and said: "Before going to the main topic of the reunion, I will share some details of the world's history for context."

The Narrator said as she opened her hand. The moment she opened her hands, the atmosphere of the room grew colder.

"During the Forgotten Epoch, the Beyonder world followed different rules. There were twenty-two Pathways, balanced in nine groups. This balance was broken during the War in Heaven for unknown reasons. The balance was only restored when another group containing three Pathways integrated into mysticism: The Hallucinated Pathway, the Delusional Pathway, and the Devotee Pathway." Everyone listened with extreme attention to every word the Narrator said.

"With that settled, I called this reunion because something important happened during the night. A transmigrator came to Earth." The Narrator finished as everyone stared at her in shock.

"Ms. Narrator, should we continue following the procedures?" The patriarch, Vincent Norarta, said as he anxiously waited for an answer.

"For now, yes. My predictions were right about the matter. Unless something unpredictable happens, the transmigrator will follow the Delusional Pathway." The Narrator answered before leaving the room.

Execution Court, Western Union, Western Continent. 6 A.M of March 25 of 428.

"The time has finally come... A new era is going to start." The Executioner said.

"Perhaps the opportunity to advance will come too." The Elder of Power said as he poured himself some tea.

"What path do you think our guest will choose?" The leader of the Solar Community asked.

"The Norartas wouldn't risk leaking the Hallucinated path, and even if they did decide to take the chance, their Narrator wouldn't allow it to happen. Our guest is located in the East, so he most probably won't have the opportunity to take the Devotee. If I have to guess, I would say... Delusional." The Executioner answered.

"What about the other paths? Maybe he could be a Seer or maybe a Bard." The leader of the Solar Community said as he laughed.

"If this was planned by any other being, then that could be a possibility, but since it was planned by Him, a miscalculation like that wouldn't happen," the Executioner said.

"It's been over four hundred years, so some parts might not go as He planned," the leader of the Solar Community said as he wrote something on a paper.

"Well, I'll send the news to the people. See you guys later," the leader of the Solar Community said as he took the paper and left.

This food is awesome! Michael thought as he eagerly ate everything he could.

The table was filled with different types of food: lemon cakes, different types of bread, pies, and pancakes.

I take back everything bad I said about this family. Their food is delicious! Michael thought as he kept eating.
